I am trying to publish a workbench to FME Server that writes to a geodatabase_sde which has 'versioned edit session' selected. I set the connection file to a user parameter, and publish then run, and get error 'writer must be a versioned edit session

If the table is versioned, you'll maybe have to set the transaction type to "VERSIONING" on the writer. It's described in detail in the documentation, see under the heading "TRANSACTION_TYPE" here:

https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_ReadersWriters/geodatabase/Writer_Directives_GeodbFeatClasses.htm

That's the problem, the writer's transaction type is set to 'versioned'

Hi @clairebibby856​ ,

A couple things to confirm:

• Do you run into issues on FME Desktop?
• What version of FME Desktop and FME Server are you on?
• Can you share the whole error message for me to take a look?
• Is the table versioned or non-versioned? If we are using a versioned edit session to a non-versioned table then Edit sessions do not work properly.

Thanks!

Kezia
